#slowmode — Public Fediverse posts

#SlowMode is pretty mandatory if you want to have a look at posts from other instances than your own (Life feeds > Other servers/All).

It seems nigh impossible to follow the posts unless you have Slow Mode on in the Mastodon Preferences.

It makes it a whole lot nicer when you press a button to load a bunch of posts and it doesn't just automatically keep flooding. You'll get peace of mind to look at the posts without it autoscrolling like a racecar past the screen.

@revolt3d I actually find that kind of comforting. Everything on here is geared very much for the moment it seems.

I think that's why I complained so much when the #slowmode thing was going on and was so happy when it was resolved.

@admin @subMedia

Who knew endlessly moaning about an issue would get results?

It turns out the whole #slowmode issue was caused when Sally Kolektiva was leaning back in her office chair and accidentally toggled the "Freeze the feeds and notifications for @ophiocephalic @MsDropbear42 @jdp23 @flowers @Air_Quotes_Comedian @MsDropbear"

It's all back to normal now and I can't express how happy this makes me. Well, I suppose I could express how happy it makes me now that I think about it, but I'm far too lazy to do so.

It's amazing how alive it all feels again after being frozen in amber for so long.

Thankyou for fixing the problem. Thanks to everybody who collectively complained about it and kept on doing so. I'd also like to thank the Academy, my Mum....

I am completely satisfied and I'll never complain or moan about anything ever again

in this particular post.

One post makes me want to drop-kick humanity into the dustbin of obsolescence while the next post makes me want to take humanity out of that trashcan, dust them off, and say, “Yeah, I got a little hope back from a post about a children’s author.”

That’s why I love this place.

Who knew I’d be so invested in what people are doing in their gardens? I’m just glad, in one garden, that the peaches are bug free this year because bird feeders were put out (The bugs don’t eat the bird seed if that’s what you’re thinking, and was also my first thought).

The little dramas and slices of life people choose to share here create quite the tapestry at kolektiva.

That’s another reason why I love this place.

You know what I don’t love though?

#slowmode @admin

Not having my feed and notifications refresh until I hit the reload button on my browser (multiple browsers used, multiple PC based platforms used).

@MoiraPrime A small number of users have been involuntarily stuck in #slowmode for some time now.

There's definitely not enough of a fuss being kicked up about it.

I note with interest that Mintpress News appears to have taken down its list of staff and contributors.

I wonder if they will ever make a statement or acknowledge what Randi Lucile Nord did.

I wonder if I'll be stuck in #slowmode forever too, but no point complaining about it. I don't know why I even brought it up to be honest.

Does #Calckey have slow mode? It really needs a slow mode.

#SlowMode #FediHelp #Question

I'm making big changes in my life. Being stuck in #slowmode has shown me change can be... yeah, bad example.

Basically, I have my regular tabs open in my browser but in a completely different order than usual.

@MsDropbear @Air_Quotes_Comedian @admin

Am I understanding this correctly that this is is instance-specific?

I only ask because I use #slowmode on both of my mobile apps and via the web interface on my laptop. I do not experience any unexpected behavior with it.

Good luck!

Potential refresh bug in Mastodon's Advanced-Web-Interface mode (multicolumn mode for browsers) when #SlowMode (timeline updates require a click) is enabled. (Both options are found in Preferences-Appearance)

I would appreciate feedback from other Advanced Web + Slow Mode users to confirm whether it's just my particular setup (e.g. the #FediAct addon) or something more common.

ISSUE: Enabling Advanced Web Interface adds multiple columns and what was the single main view in default Mastodon install becomes a Profile column while Home, Notifications and additional columns (e,g, hashtags) displaying running events. When "Slow Mode" is enabled, instead of autorefreshing, Home and extra columns require a click to refresh. (useful for those who are uncomfortable with tickertape style constantly running view)

This all works as designed, but the Profile column has no manual refresh option. Once I view another user's feed/timeline there it will never be refreshed (during current sign-in session) even if that user posts frequent toots, replies or boosts. (Without "Slow Mode" enabled the Profile pane refreshes loaded sources with the latest updates.)

The result is that the affected user isn't seeing the activity that is actually happening on the account they think they are viewing "live".

I don't know how many people use Mastodon via the browser in Advanced Web + Slow Mode, but probably more than just a handful.

#Mastodon #Mastodonbug #Mastodondev

the "load missing posts" ellipsis inserts missing posts ABOVE the ellipsis when in #SlowMode. This preserves your older-to-newer timeline reading position.

BUT when posts are missing WITHIN the section of timeline subsequently loaded, the ellipsis loads them BELOW the ellipsis. This breaks your current older-to-newer reading location.

What is the logic behind this #UX decision in #Mastodon @Gargron

@Offroadrj You can slow them down, did you know? The Pause button on the posts. As I follow more people, I can't keep up with the *stream* so I mentioned it and was pointed to this feature

You check SLOW MODE, and it pauses until YOU press to continue, like the second photo

#Mastodon #Tips #SlowMode

Someone tooted about the slow mode and how it slows things down in the #fediverse, notifications and in your feed. That was the best advice ever. I'm really enjoying the #slowmode.

#mooseandriosmom

You can turn off continuous scrolling of your federation and local timelines in Settings / Preferences / Appearance. Check the box for “Slow Mode”.

This activates a “click to update” mode.

You can choose #SlowMode in your settings.

So, when I was complaining about the crazy scrolling Local and Federated feeds, why did no-one tell me that there was a Slow mode to fix that? #mastodon #slowmode
